Less than a year after it bought Xstrata, Glencore is set to erase the name from its official corporate title in an agm vote next month, the company confirmed on Thursday April 17.

Along with the rest of the market, Hotline has long suspected that the Glencore Xstrata name wouldn't last.

As we reported back in September, the Xstrata name was nowhere to be seen on Glencore traders' business cards, and its investor presentations still featured the old Glencore logo long after the takeover.
